The Splash plugin displays an animated splash logo whenever Compiz is launched. The splash is customizable and consists of two parts: an unmoving foreground image, and a larger background image that ripples and waves behind it.

The JPEG, PNG, and SVG plug-ins under Image Loading should be enabled. The default keybinding is ctrl+F11
